Instructional+TV,+1-way


 * Defined**: ITV is defined as a one-way, full motion video and audio transmission of classroom instruction through a telecommunications channel such as satellite, cable TV, or Instructional TV Fixed Service (ITFS), a dedicated 2.5GHz spectrum managed by the FCC and limited to educational programming only, usually transmitted via microwave towers. This medium, when combined with an audio response or keypad system supports the capability for students to spontaneously ask questions of the instructor and respond to other students at multiple remote sites (Note: The synchronous, two-way audio is normally provided by a telephone carrier utilizing an audio bridge and normal terrestrial phone service. This specific application would not be available to instructional programming received via commercial cable TV). Due to the bandwidth available via satellite or ITFS, this delivery medium can emulate the live, traditional classroom environment but at a distance. ITV is sometimes referred to as Business Television (BTV), Interactive Video Teletraining, or Interactive TV, and can be transmitted via analog or digital systems.
